Title Decision-support for selecting demolition waste management strategies
Year 2023
Published Buildings & Cities, 4, 1
Abstract The construction industry is increasingly challenged to reduce its waste production, resource consumption and energy emissions. Moving towards more circular and sustainable practices therefore seems imperative. Demolition contractors play a vital role in this move as they need to select waste management strategies for distinct obsolete building elements. Previous research has nevertheless overlooked how demolition contractors can gain insights into the consequences of such strategies. This research therefore adopts a design science research methodology to iteratively develop a decision -support tool for selecting demolition waste management strategies. Through collaborating with a pioneering demolition contractor in the Netherlands, in-depth insights into actual decision -making processes were obtained. A tool was subsequently designed that compares and ranks three different waste management strategies (reuse, recycle and recover) by evaluating their impacts in terms of technical feasibility, economic costs, environmental gain and social gain. This tool enables demolition contractors to make more informed waste management decisions and, as such, offers new opportunities to adopt circular and sustainable demolition methods.
